Review of a Tulum, reef, and cenote day tour from Cancun, with practical advice on timing, fees, snorkeling, lunch, and value.

“We had a great time during this experience! The tour of the Tulum ruins was great, although it was a bit tough to understand the guide. However, he tried his best to convey the information to us, and the ruins were amazing! Our guide, Tlaltemoa, was very knowledgeable about Cancún’s history. He is also very passionate about the environment, and he showed us how to explore the ocean and the cenotes while appreciating the nature around us, teaching us lessons that will last a lifetime. Lunch, snacks, fruits, and water were provided to us, and the transportation was punctual and very safe.”

Review of Cancun and Riviera Maya’s sea turtle and cenote tour, with costs, pickup times, crowds, gear, guides, and practical booking advice.

“If you have never been snorkeling before, or if you are snorkeling with children, this is a great tour. The guides are wonderful, professional, and make sure that everyone can use their snorkel and sees the same amount of turtles. Life jackets are also required, so no need to be an excellent swimmer. That said, the tour wasn't at all what I was looking for. Once you get to alkumal bay, there are TONS of people there, and each group takes a small boat out a few hundred yards, you hop in the water, and swim back to shore with your guide. If anyone happens to see a turtle, it…”

“Bring your own towels and lunch is late in the day so bring your own sack lunch or protein snacks if you want them. Overall, the day was long, mostly all fun (other than the quite bumpy ride) fun was had. Yes, we would do it again. Gilberto was a great driver. Pulled a long day. Felix was funny and kept us entertained. We would have liked more information on culture overall, more info sharing!”

Review of Rancho Bonanza’s horseback ride and cenote swim near Cancun, with jungle trails, rescued horses, transport, tips, costs, and practical advice.

“Fabian was a great guide. We planned this excursion as part of our honeymoom on the last day and it was a huge hit. You will ride through Playa's jungle on well trained horses and learn a lot of great information. We didnt swim, but if you want to a well trained golden lab will lead you into the cenote. They provided high quality pictures that you will treasure for a long time to come. You should do this and request Fabian. Dont forget save time to meet all the horses and donkeys on your way out.”

We ended up not needing it but it would have been nice to know that during the booking process so we could have planned accordingly.”

“Guide Ivan & driver Luis were fantastic. Having worked in tourism in Europe, SE Asia & Canada they were top notch in my mind. Ivan was so knowledgable. You felt safe & supported and had no worries. Your belongings were safe while you swam with Tortugas (Turtles), swimming the Cenote (which was the highlight) & the ruins. Just and awesome pair to take you out for the day. And the food at the end was delicious. I would book Ivan again if I come back and do more cenotes. Totally wicked day. Do it!! Felt bad for the turtles as there were so many other tours there at the same…”

“We had a blast! The ATVs were so much fun! Cenote was pretty cool. I loved visiting Puerto Morelos. It was nice to get to see what Mexico really looks like and soak in the culture. Be aware they don't let you take your phone. They take pictures for you and you can buy them. Honestly I think it was well worth it... it costs us $50 and they sent us about 50 awesome pictures.”
